Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
What Palladium product is this from?

ReplyDeleteOne of Kevin Long's best covers too.
ReplyDeleteErick Wujick's writing though. That's good NPC right there.
ReplyDeleteI've been thoroughly poring through my first edition printing of this book since I started working on my game "Other Strangeness".
ReplyDeleteSex: meaningless
ReplyDeleteErick Wujcik was one of the greats. His revised After the Bomb book -- one of the last things he wrote -- is full of truly wild ideas. Including rules for getting addicted to having sex with rabbit people.
ReplyDeleteShit, I only have the original. I'll have to check out the revised too.
ReplyDeleteCasey G. It's worth checking out. The background for the world is changed (and, in my opinion, made more interesting in the process). It's, like, maybe 10% more "serious" than the original but somehow even crazier.
ReplyDeleteI should have said "one of the last things he wrote for Palladium." It came out six years before he passed away, and he was still working during that time.
If it's at the FLGS this weekend I'll pick it up.
